    Us at 8th and Warriors at #1 is probably the worst outcome. They could likely trade #1 for someone that pushes them into the playoffs next year and we get a mid 20s pick.

    8th pick in a week draft when only two teams had more losses is beyond sad.

    Appears the draft is on ABC / ESPN3. Can't figure out how to record this.

    The NFL has a quick path to relevance via the draft, build, get THAT stud draftee QB then spend on his 1st contract.

    The NBA path to relevance — for a team like Portland — is the tank and trading off the $$$ veterans who don’t fit or are iffy on the timeline. Get some luck, hit it 2-3 years in a row and mature. What is interesting this time is all the Blazers bench guys — Reath, Murray, Walker, Camara, Rupert, Banton, Time Lord — and seeing what long-term roles they can fill over the next 2-3 years onto their 2nd Blazers contract.

    TIME TO PRAY TO THE BASKETBALL GODS!

    nba will give us the 1st pick cause they wanted wembanyama to play for san antonio spurs (cause theyre historically great organization that has shown they know how to work with 1st picks i.e. robinson & duncan)
